Going paperless with night utilities

Are you tired of the 10+ pieces of paper that print out every night with night utilities?
I came up with 2 solutions to this problem. The key to this is you need a pdf creator that auto saves the print out without asking for a name.

1. http://en.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator its a free software called pdf creator. I installed it on the server and under options auto save I put this command \\servername\users\<REDMON_USER>\PDF\ replace servername with the name of your server and the path to the users directory. It will auto put the file in the users home directory under a pdf folder. There is another command that will auto email the file to the user also but its not 100% reliable. (let me know if you want that code)
So in the morning the night util person just opens the pdfs and reviews them or forwards them on to who needs them.
The key to this is pdfcreator has to be your default printer before starting night utils then in the morning you can change your default printer to what you want it to be just dont forget to change it back before you run night utils again.

2. If you have a version of acrobat where you can print to pdf (not the free version) you can use that.
a. go to control panel > printers
b. right click on adobe pdf click properties
c. click printing preferences button on general tab.
d. click adobe pdf settings tab at the top.
e. adobe pdf output folder (default is prompt for a filename) change that to a directory of your choice.
f. make adobe pdf your default printer before you start night utils and check the output directory you defined in step e in the morning.

I use the first option as its a great utility for the rest of the office also and its free.
